Glamcob India, making it stylish.<\/p>\n
1. How do most people react when learning about your lifestyle?
\n– I’d say that people sometimes could not believe that I am living a
\nhealthy lifestyle. People who are in the lime light do a lot of insane
\nthings. I, on the contrary, have my daily routines that I diligently
\nfollow. For instance, I exercise regularly; I maintain a balanced-diet; I am vice-free and my spirituality is
\nfulfilled. When people learn my way of living, they get inspired and motivated to do something similar to change their life.<\/p>\n
2.Has anyone given you some really good advice to deal with any
\nnegativity, if so what?
\n– A wise man once told me, \u2018happiness lies within your soul,\u201d. One can have a blissful life if you really want it. In other words, real joy emanates within you. As Vickie L. Milazzo has quoted, “Wicked Success Is Inside Every Woman”. Today, I
\nconvert negativity as fuel to get to my destination ahead of the curve.
\nNegativity only pulls you down. When someone drags you by being
\ncynical, I just shrug it off. I deem to stay positive at all times
\nbecause I believe in mantra that ‘positivity begets positivity’.<\/p>\n
3.What have you found to be the most positive thing in living an
\nalternative lifestyle?
\n– By being an inspiration to other people. I have inspired many people and they
\nhave changed their lives because of what they have seen in me. I
\ncompose my own quotes which I use to deal my life everyday. I prefer to be level-headed and rational. I choose to be realistic instead of being nice. This has, often than not, fills the gap in between. The need to know
\nyourself before others. I do however concede that sometimes drifting into cynicism or being a little
\ntoo inwards is inevitable. Maybe engaging with other people has to be done at certain
\nstages of your ‘self-understanding’ to give some kind of frame of
\nreference (that’s unavoidable, anyway).<\/p>\n
4.At what time in your life did you know that you wanted to be a woman?
\n– Every little girl has a dream. Mine was to be a beautiful sultry and
\ndevilish Maggie Q in a black weather peering out magic weapon. Other
\nthan that, I longed to be Angelina Jolie \u2013 pouting sexily at the
\ncamera, candidly and flawlessly. I was born a bloke! I knew it ever since I
\nstarted feeling differently towards other boys in our class. They liked
\ndribbling balls in the basket ball court while I just sat and watched
\nthem from the side court, desperate to go home to play Barbie dolls
\nwith my sister. Unfortunately, I was not born perfect and this
\nimperfection has worried and disturbed me. Yet I was (and still am)
\nkind to my family and friends, worked hard, gained many friends and
\neventually accepted that my physical imperfection is inconsequential.
\nThis may sound condescending but I was endowed with physical attractiveness and although I
\nhave an advantage over other transgender because of this, I felt I
\nneeded to \u201cchange\u201d. I felt the need to change to find what I really
\nyearned for \u2013 True Happiness. What I did not realize, was that every
\nchange comes with a cost.<\/p>\n
5.You turned into a model, is it the thing that you wanted in the life?
\n– Absolutely, definitely and positively a showstopper. A super model.
\nToday I value excellence, and wrap my affairs with dignity. I have
\nsizeable energy and vibes in everything that I do along with the fact
\nthat I\u2019m very outspoken when in comes to my views on society and sexuality. To have a dream
\nrole, a Bollywood version. I think the one Maggie Q played in \u2018Naked
\nWeapon\u2019.<\/p>\n
6. What is a common misconception about transgendered people that you
\nthink other people should know the truth about?
\n– It has been difficult. I always believe that if you are scrupulously
\nhonest, you stand your ground and you have dignity, then people will respect you. If people choose to despise you because of your sexual choices and you get offended then you let other people to cripple and torment you. You allow them to hurt you. You feel distressed not because it is the truth but because you could not let go of their misinterpretations, lies and gossip against you.<\/p>\n
7.Were you afraid of going through transition?
\n– No doubt; it was never easy! Physically, if you want to be beautiful, take the pain. After a few hours
\nyou live the way you want it. The need to change became so eminent to
\nme, it was so strong that I became very impatient before, and I have made a decision
\nto stop working and tried to do something completely different. I had
\nheard that there were certain paths through the City of Life, which I
\nlooked incredibly interesting and absolutely wonderful. I had heard
\nthat some of these paths were full of mystery and danger, but also held
\nthe chance of great opportunity. I plan for the next six years, to complete this so-called
\njourney, The Central Path.<\/p>\n
8.What did you have to go through before your doctor approved of
\nputting you on hormones\/ gender reassignment surgery?
\n– I made appointments with a reputable, celebrity surgeon and made several general
\nqueries at first, right after extensive research, and real-life
\ntestimonies. I then started oral hormone replacement therapy, deep derma
\npenetration. I also underwent cosmetic surgery and reconstructive plastic
\nsurgery. I still have procedures on my check list: facial bone
\nreconstruction (facial feminization), vocal chord surgery and Gore-tex
\nRhinoplasty.<\/p>\n
10. How did your family\/friends react when you came out?
\n– Although they were shocked, they showed support and encouragement.
\nThey did not see me less of a person. On a positive note, \u2018Let go of
\nthat ego and insecurity. Realizing it and trying to articulate it stops
\nit in its tracks. A daily battle for everyone I think.<\/p>\n
11.Do you want to have a family some day?
\n– (Giggling) Yes by starting to have a baby cat. It is better to adopt
\nthan to buy. I named her Candice. I lathered her with Bvlgari and
\nL’occitane today!<\/p>\n
12.What is the hardest part in dating someone who is not transgendered?
\n– The expectations are different. The chances of being misconstrued in
\nso many different things, in so many levels, are high simply because
\nwe have different perceptions.<\/p>\n
13. Are you 100% sure of your sexuality?
\n– Proud to be a transgender woman, the best of both worlds. I am
\nextremely sure of my sexuality and what I want out of life with regard
\nto love: It has to be a man, and an open-minded one at that
\nbecause if I am with a man a serious with humor and for the sexual
\nintimacy that has become a primal part of my psyche. I cannot get
\naroused by female genitalia. Doesn\u2019t mean promoting gay porn star or
\nPlayboy model makes me a homosexual. Homosexuality can be overt,
\novert, situational, exploratory and bisexual. Transgender\/Transsexual
\nis different from Homosexual, we go by transition, change of passport
\nand we believe that we are woman trapped in a man\u2019s body. This is to
\nsay that I don\u2019t like women; I adore women because I am one, if
\nanything it has freed me to love them for the wonderful gender they
\nare, and to truly appreciate them untainted by being one. The
\ninteresting thing is because I am so much more appreciative of them,
\nthey in turn find me far more attractive than ever, and cannot
\nunderstand why I can’t I be one of them. But I think you understand why
\nI chose to act more far better, it\u2019s a personal branding.<\/p>\n
14. Do you have more of a preference for men or for women?
\n– MEN of course! Do I need to think about it? I eschew women, even if someone offers me a billion dollar-prize.<\/p>\n
15. What improvements would you like to see happen for the LGBT
\ncommunity in the future?
\n– My words are active, alive and powerful. My soul belongs to India.
\nRead the annual Festival in Koovagam, Tamil Nadu, stories of
\nTransgendered people being grope and rape outside the temple. Really
\nsick, and totally breaks my heart into pieces. I give my full support
\nto MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination) and to the LGBT community
\nacross the globe in any way possible. There is no \u2018law\u2019 that someone
\nought to have a relationship or marry one. Respect their preferences and
\nsexuality, as long they don\u2019t harm other people, in any form or object.<\/p>\n
